    POSITIVE service experience to share LOL

    So my scheduled service to inspect the malfunctioning windshield washer came up this morning. My complaint before was it took a month wait to get it looked at (I trouble-shot based on what I can Google and still can't get the water to spray) in addition to the tech support call-back issue. BUT...

    Hong Kong removes autopilot

    The Hong Kong authorities have forced Tesla Hong Kong to remove the autopilot functionality of v7. This is from the Transport Department that removed the browser as they, with their 1866km of roads, know better than the rest of the world. Unelected officialdom. So today Tesla did a software...

    Idea for Tesla - Tesla Valet Charging Service

    As Tesla gains popularity, I have noticed it is becoming more and more difficult to secure a free supercharger parking spot. Tesla needs to spend more money on getting additional slots in parking lots in order to meet demand. This can be expensive from a capital expenditure point of view...

    Windscreen wiper stuttering

    Drove for the first time in rain yesterday and noticed the wiper (driver side one) is stuttering and dragging across the wind screen. Is that normal and I just need to break them in? Doesn’t happen to my other ICE cars though… Is there any easy solution to this or I need to bring it in...

    Battery swap makes more sense for Hong Kong?

    Anyone have any info or contacts about battery swapping? I know Musk said they pretty much put it on the far back burner now since the trial in California proved everyone preferred the free Superchargers compared to fast but paid battery swap. However as we have seen how things are going in HK...

    Tesla Owner and EV enthusiast tries out BMW i3 for 4 days

    More crappy Tesla service experience. 2 days to switch the wheels!!!!

    When I got my Tesla, they gave me the wrong rear wheels. I was promised 265 on the rear, which was the only reason I ordered the 21" wheels. After a **** load of crap from Tesla and taking 2 months for them to arrive, I finally got to take my car in today. (Valet service pickup or car return...

    How many are tried REGAL Kowloon Hotel desination charing?

    Have had dinner in REGAL Kowloon Hotel last week, requested charging but refused! Their excuse was “there’re many cars are coming to parking here tonight”, my thinking was they’re lazy to move the petrol car which parked near the Wall Connector, BAD listed this hotel and won’t go there anymore.

    Going to U.S. next month, any goodies worth-while buying back?

    Just confirmed my order last week for a 85D. Will there be any accessories (from Tesla Accessories and Charging Adapters Accessories or some after market companies) for the car that are worth-while buying during my biz trip in U.S. next month? Thanks for all your advice in advance!

    Ultra Hi-Fi Sound Upgrade

    Has anyone managed to do a comparison between the stock audio option and the ultra high fidelity sound upgrade? I am curious to find out if the upgrade is worth the price but there is no showroom unit available. My music interests are classical music and 80-90's pops.

    Suggestion for Tesla in HK (Superchargers vs Servicing vs Sales)

    I read an article this morning about the advanced servicing system that they rolled out in the US: Log In - The New York Times It sort of irks me that it seems we always read about new and great things happening with Tesla but it seems there's Tesla US and Tesla Rest Of The World.... Then I...

    Show us your wheels post?

    Too late for me but I think it would be nice for an on-going thread of after market wheels/tires so that owners thinking of getting aftermarket wheels can have some reference of how it looks on their Model S. I've seen a few already while at SC but thought it would be better if owners posted it...

    My admittedly premature 70D review

    Hi all, We picked the car up on Friday afternoon. Everything went smoothly apart from the fact that although my DS told me that the centre console would be installed, it wasn't and I had to wait 30-40min for it to actually be installed. Overall, I am very happy with it but I will give a list...

    HKEV Registration/Prox Card

    Only 1 13A BS1363 charger available on B2. You have to park and then take elevator up to B1 to the car park office for the operator to "turn it on" (though I'm not sure if the HKEV prox card I just got in the mail might do the trick?). A few of the turns inside the parking lot requires 2...

    HKEV Charger/E-Charge App review

    Did my first charge with HKEV's charger at Elements mall. I originally thought it was a government/CLP charger at Elements but found out it wasn't as simple as tapping with an Octopus and choosing the charging port number. Apparently you need to register online and they will mail you a prox...

    Didn't take long to see first a-hole

    Tesla After Sales Services

    Swapping 21" wheels for 19"
